Manfrotto MB MBAG90PN Overview

1Description

The Manfrotto by Bogen ImagingMBAG90PN Padded Tripod Bag (Black) is a padded ballistic nylon bag designed to carry Bogen/Manfrotto tripod with a head up to 35" long. As with all soft-sided bags, an item's girth may reduce this number. Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place and protects it, especially the head, during transport. It also serves a double purpose by protecting the tripod's hard edges when it is carried. The zipper extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag. The end opening allows for faster "quiver" style extraction and insertion of the tripod. The inner pocket holds accessories (such as video head pan bars).The bag is tapered to follow the shape of the tripod and head.

The tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end. This also means it's easier to put the tripod and head in the bag, even if the head levers and knobs are fitted and jut out slightly. The bag includes a shoulder strap and an end carry handle. There is also a carry handle on the side.

Big and well padded.Its big...very big. I use it to store and transport two tripods. MVMXPRO500US XPRO and the MT190X3 with a Manfrotto MVH502AH head. Both fit nicely. Even have room for rain gear. Large strap makes it easy to carry on the back. Has an interior pocket for small odds and ends. Circular end cap is fairly rigid and allows me to keep smaller cameras attached to the tripod when needed. I mostly use it for storage. Its big with a lot of room just for a single tripod. The VMXPRO500US XPRO is long and just fits inside but there is so much room around the legs I can store several small camera bags inside it. Makes me rethink my packing each time I use it....blessing and a curse.

Great bagAwesome bag. It fits my 055XPROB manfrotto tripod like a charm, WITH the head attached, and I have one of the larger heads with 3 handles on it. The top of the bag is flat and rigid so you can set it down upwards on the floor and it stands. The bag can unfold completely since the zipper goes all the way down, so its very easy to get the tripod out.

A Bag that Speaks Volumes about Quality.I use this bag to securely store and carry my Manfrotto 055XB Tripod Legs w/ 503HDV Professional Video Fluid Head. It is well padded, with extra padding and support around the head. The carry handles and shoulder strap allow options for carrying your tripod anywhere. The side zipper and top-side zipper allow options for stowage. The top-only quiver-style zipper option is a convenient way to slip the tripod in and out of its cozy home, when not in use. And the inside pocket allow for extra storage of tripod handle or accessories.

Glad I listened to some other reviewersAfter purchasing a Manfrotto CX055Pro 4 tripod I decided I wanted a carry, protection bag for the legs and head. I looked at some of the other bags and one that attracted my attention was the Manfrotto bag that is just the smaller brother to this one. Glad I listened to some of the reviewers and got the MBAG90 PN. The other bag would have been smaller and made for a very tight fit. Plus the MBAG90 has a neat inside pocket for storage and can actually fit my Manfrotto tripod as well as monopod and a couple of Bogen Super Clamps with ease. Very well made and easy to get the tripod and/or accessories out with the full length zipper. A bit more expensive than the smaller one but well worth the extra money.

Great for the RRS TVC-33 tripodJust don't replaced the factory-included feet w. long spikes; will no longer fit the bag. Would have preferred the accessory bag be external, vs. internal, but that's a tiny gripe. Previous tripod bag was the HakubaPSTC300, which lasted 4 1/2 years, before developing a rip. So why didn't buy another one, for half the price of the Manfrotto? Use a tripod over 95% of my outings, but the case is only used to protect the tripod in my closet, protect it in the car, and carry the tripod between those locations ... not demanding. Only used this bag 3x so far, but expecting it to last at least 5 years.

Zipper sticks and very poor manufacturingThe zipper was a bit sticky from the beginning. Eventually, not after too long the stitching came apart at the zipper. I looks as if they stitch across the plastic of the zipper and this wore out the stitching. I bought this bag in like new condition from the used department. So unfortunately, it is not covered by Manfrottos warranty. This appears to be a flaw in manufacturing. I have a smaller version of this exact bag and I am having the same issue. This will be my last Manfrotto bag purchase. Do not recommend to anyone?

OUTSTANDING tripod case!The MBAG90PN Padded Tripod Bag by Manfrotto is everything I want in a protective tripod case. It is priced within reason and is far more sturdy and durable than its price reflects. It is truly a great buy. With a serious tripod head and leg combo prices in the $500-$1000 range these days, this case is the most cost effective tripod insurance you can buy - and you only have to pay for it once. A quality tripod is a lifetime investment; protect your investment with the MBAG90PN and your tripod will serve you well for years on end (provided the airlines do not lose it, that is).

THE ZIPPER STICKSI have another older and very similar manfrotto bag and I love it. I would love this bag too except the zipper that came on it is very stick at the top (where I always need to zip and unzip). This may just be a problem with my bag, and not all the other MBAG90PN's. I'm going to call Manfrotto and see what they say.
